Is Waterproof Solid Wood Real?

Yes!

Thermawood's hardwood flooring is! 

Have you ever seen laminate or LVP in a shower?

No — of course not. They’d never hold up.

So why are those products called “waterproof”?

Because most “waterproof flooring” is designed to handle spills and everyday messes.

And for many homes, those products work fine.

But there’s a big difference between handling a spilled glass of water… and handling real moisture exposure over time.

Thermawood-USA is different.

Our 100% solid hardwood is changed by using only heat and steam.

By heating the wood to around 380° in an oxygen-free kiln, the organic material inside gets "cooked" out

Simply put:

No organic material = no cupping, warping, or gapping

 

Thermawood — stays dimensionally stable where traditional wood fails.

And unlike laminate, LVP, or those other fake products, this is still real hardwood through and through.

It sands, stains, refinishes, and installs like real wood — because it is real wood.

Our solid hardwood flooring shines where traditional hardwood has always struggled or failed — concrete slabs, radiant heat, bathrooms, coastal homes, basements, showers, decks, docks, and cladding.

With true wide plank flooring — 7" to 11" widths and 14' - 16' lengths — Our wood stays stable in environments traditional hardwood has failed for decades.

 

That’s why you’d never really use laminate or LVP in a  walk-in shower or exterior projects

So is waterproof solid hardwood flooring real?

YES.
